Greenlee 508S (part # 08678) wire finder appears to be a magic wand intended to be used by both professional electricians and DIYers in any industry. You may need this Wire Finder in case of wiring failures or before the process of drilling or digging for indicating the wiring diagram or for locating as well as pinpointing the particular wires hidden in the walls or underground (both energized (up to 120 VAC) and de-energized). The user-friendly operations and compact design make the process of usage clear and quick. Also you can easily choose the AC adapter plug (for use with IEC socket) or the alligator clips with a switch that has two positions. The scope of capacity ranges up to 3 ft deep and about 1000 ft length. The Finder tracks the location of a wire and its approximate depth and enables the user to avoid the damages while drilling or digging. The transmitter of Greenlee 508S possesses a compact size and a feature of automatic shut-off that prevents the unintended discharge (in 90 minutes of standby mode it shuts off). The device consists of: transmitter (thumb wheel included);receiver (high impact plastic);AC outlet cord set;a cord set for alligator clips;battery (9V);durable carrying case (made of molded plastic).The unit can be connected to (by alligator clips): metallic pipes;CATV coaxial cables;telephone drops;wires of irrigation control.The powerful and durable Greenlee 508S is made in obedience to Greenlees modern innovative technologies and has one-year limited warranty. The Wire Finder is designed to locate the path of energized (120 VAC) or deenergized wires behind walls and underground. The 508S is also capable of locating a specific circuit breaker, pinpointing wires before drilling and verifying dig sites underground. The effective range is up to 3 feet deep and up to 1000 feet in length. The unit consists of a transmitter, model 508ST, equipped with a thumb wheel switch for turning the unit on and adjusting the output level and an IEC socket on the back of the unit for use with either the AC adapter plug or the large alligator clip leads. A two position switch is provided for choosing either the AC adapter plug (PLUG) or the alligator clip leads (LEADS). The transmitter has an automatic shut off feature. If the unit is left on for approximately 90 minutes, the unit will shut itself off. To restart, turn the power switch off, then on again. The transmitter is constructed of high impact plastic and is powered by one 9V battery. The receiver, model 508SR, is equipped with a thumb wheel switch for turning the unit on and adjusting the receiver gain. The tracking antenna is attached to the receiver with a 5-foot long cable. The receiver is also equipped with the automatic shut-off feature. If the receiver has been left on for approximately 90 minutes, the unit will shut off. To restart, just turn the power switch off, then on again. The receiver has been designed to filter AC power related noise. The receiver is constructed of high impact plastic and is powered by one 9V battery. The alligator clip leads are available to connect the transmitter to electrical wire, CATV coax, telephone drops, irrigation control wires or metallic pipes. Also included in the 508S is an AC adapter plug for use with the IEC socket on the transmitter to use with an outlet. (Maximum of 120 VAC) This locating system is packaged in a molded plastic carrying case with extra batteries and has operating instructions on the inside of the lid.
